Cross mating pair of Bicolored frog (Clinotarsus curtipes) & Malabar gliding frog (Rhacophorus malabaricus)
This unusual phenomenon witnessed during my this season's visit to Amboli, one of the best location in western ghats, having vide range of biodiversity. While we were on search for the famous Rhaco (Malabar Gliding Frog), we came across this mating pair of Bi-coloured frog and Malabar Gliding Frog. Though the local experts say that, the mating will not result in any reproduction as the genes of both the species dont match.
Need more info on this behaviour

Dawn of a Golden Era !!!!While on our trail at Nagla block I came across tiny eggs laid on a leaf.. It was even smaller than mustard seeds.. While taking a 1:1 view on it I observed the new born bee/fly (ID unknown) was still on the eggs. Not sure about the behavioural pattern but surely it was a one of the great macro sighting i have had till date.Need expert advise on ID and further details
